Lake St. Clair Fishing Report 11/28/2025 - Clear Water, Active Fish, Crankbaits Crushing It
# Lake St. Clair Fishing Report – Friday, November 28th, 2025
Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for today. We're in late November now, and the bite's still solid out here on the Clair.
**Current Conditions & Activity**
We've got clear water conditions out there right now, which is fantastic for sight-fishing opportunities. The fish are definitely active – we're seeing strong populations of smallmouth bass, walleye, and perch. According to recent reports, the smallmouth are hanging around rock piles, seawalls, bridge pilings, and areas with current, so those structure-heavy zones are your bread and butter today.
**What's Working**
For lures, you're going to want to have a solid crankbait selection tied on. The Strike King KVD 1.5 squarebill is an absolute workhorse this time of year – it's versatile enough to work around laydowns, rocks, and grass lines. If you're fishing shallower water close to cover or docks, the KVD 1.5 Shallow is going to be your player, running about twelve inches below the surface. For bait, live shiners are going to get you in front of hungry fish, and don't overlook good old-fashioned crawlers for the walleye.
**Hot Spots**
If you're launching today, hit up the harbors and marinas in the area – Fishermans Marina and Erma Henderson Marina are productive spots. The river mouths are also firing right now with the seasonal fish movement.
**Special Note**
Yellow perch spearing season opens up December 1st through mid-March if you're interested in that, and it's open right here on the Clair with hand-propelled spears or bows.
Get all your gear before you leave the dock, and get out there and tight lines! Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for daily updates on the Clair.
